The NCAA is charged with supporting its member institutions and enforcing the rules that they adopt. Its even-handed enforcement of the eligibility rules is necessary to ensure a level playing field among all competitors and to provide opportunities for incoming student-athletes. If courts can intervene in NCAA eligibility decisions to provide special treatment to favored athletes, then the NCAA's ability to ensure fair athletic competition in which all participants play by the same rules will depend upon the whims of trial courts throughout the country.
